Dude for real, seems so nice to hear it from tyler, let alone from their channel. Super exciting! 10 years of being a lifelong member, I'm happy to be a part of this. I genuinely cant wait for the new music

[@JayBirdy120]

exactly i looked into for an hour and a half and felt like i knew alot of details about what people thought but this was incredible so it informs on a base level but also leaves room for the brain to wander and wonder different conspiracies

[@EliTheEnlightened]

People asking for a movie. You have it, all the music videos and now we have the key to put them all together.

[@doomayam]

Is there some kind of play list that has all of the videos sorted in chronological order? That would be so scrumptious.

Ok in Blurrfake the youtube channel he posted a picture and apparently the order is Heavydirtysoul, Jumpsuit, Nico and the 9rs, Levitate, Saturday, The Outside, Overcompensate, Navigating, Paladin Strait.

lol yeah, sounds so simple, where fans have been theorising based on just the right amount of clues.

[@kairbender]

6 years explained in 4 minutes

[@sarahlouise4606]

At least we got a video 🥹 I wish they would do this for every era. We, as a fandom, knew all of those explanations but people that are casual listeners and potential fans didn’t know, so it would be better for them to release a video like this every era explaining everything so the mainstream audience understands the lore and listen to their songs more often or even better, it’s fuel for those people to become part of the fandom

[@marinavelaz]

Lol my husband and I were trying to reflect / figure out the lore right before watching it... lol Tyler - I mean, Clancy - summed it right up! WELCOME (BACK) TO TRENCH! |-/

​@@sarahlouise4606that would be awesome, though I don't think "casual listeners" would care about it or watch such videos and that's okay.

[@Smithoa]

This band is one of the main reasons I’m alive today. Before my son died this was our thing. Sitting on the hospital bed diving deeper and deeper into the twenty one pilots universe. Since my Caleb’s death they’ve helped me beyond words of explanation. I am Clancy ⚡️❤️

[@bwavert]

Sorry for your loss man. I can't imagine what you've gone through.. Lost my mum in the pandemic and TOP has helped me significantly as well. I'm glad to be a part of this collective, uniting people and not the opposite. Stay strong my random guy over the internet!

[@MNCLIQUEMOM]

I am very sorry for your unimaginable loss. I will pray that you find the peace and healing you seek very soon. ❤️‍🩹

[@jiml3913]

Thankyou for sharing your loss with us. Impossible to imagine the loss you have suffered. I can only relate to the joy that sharing this music with my own sons has given me. My fatherly heart goes out to you and I sincerely hope you keep fighting the fight and use this music for what I believe it was intended. To bring both families and people together and push back against those things that we all struggle with on a daily basis. I will add positive thoughts of you and your son enjoying 21p to my musical journey every time I listen to them. Stay strong, regards, Jim.

[@timothyfloogle]

Sorry for your loss pal...hppe you can grieve well

[@musicgodess80s]

My son introduced me to 21 Pilots . The first song he showed me was the video for " Car Radio"....I was immediately and utter hooked. The lyrics, their sound, their whole being is incredible. We saw them in concert together as well. I listen to them every day!! I will be 60 this year. I can't imagine life without them !! This new music is fantastic!!!

[@georgegetlik7487]

I'm right with you. I just turned 60 and I love this band.

[@jiml3913]

Same here, 59yrs young. Hope you have seen them live it makes the decades of work, stress and pain just fade away. No better drug for the mind and soul than music. Ability to share it with your children half your age is just a win win:)

[@SaturnSpotter]

Any advice for a 20 year old coming up through life?

[@ianm5067]

50 here...also found through my sons....best live show I have seen...these are definitely a group for the ages...I am now excited for this new album and hopefully a show to follow.🎉

[@jiml3913]

​@@SaturnSpotterJust making it to 59 doesn't necessarily make anyone an expert but I think that directing your focus on making a close family and following the things you have a passion for regardless of the financial benefit seems to help you ride through the ups and downs in the long run. I have lost many relatives and friends to the negatives and temptations that surround us, focusing on the responsibilities of family and community is a sound antidote. It's harder now with all the distractions and temptations, however, I think young people should remember that we all had to go through the uncertainty, pain or even fear that you might be feeling. 21pilots music is a great because it is literally all about this struggle with a strong emphasis on family and the internal moral, religious and self beliefs we all have. I will quote probably the most important line of all from one of their songs that simultaneously brings a sense of joy and a tear to my eyes......keep in mind I have 5 grandchildren along with my 3 sons. "Find grandparents or someone of age Pay some respects for the path that they paved To life they were dedicated Now that should be celebrated! Of all the music I love somehow these guys just seem to be genuine and care about the messages they send out into the world. And they rock!!😊 @SaturnSpotter

I'M HERE AFTER LISTENING TO THE ALBUM

[@theGlassdoor1]

It's no wonder that TØP is the only band nowadays that really deserves their success, they managed to tell a story not through just one album, but FOUR, you don't find things like that anymore and this video summarizing it all is simply a masterpiece, it looks like a Maze Runner or Hunger Games saga, but with a powerful message between the lines, thank you Tyler and Josh, you are everything a fan needs!

[@yomama6323]

WHEN HE STARTED EXPLAINING HOW HE WAS FORCED TO DO SCALED AND ICY IT MADE ME SO HAPPY- I JUST LOVE HOW IT’S SO PURPOSEFULLY DIFFERENT ALL FOR THE STORYLINE AND UGHHH 😭 edit: to that one person who said him being forced to make SAI in the narrative doesn’t justify a bad album, i think so many people veiwed it as bad when really, as another person put it: it was FORCED. and of course that was on purpose, it was the whole entire point of the album. if you want more information on how the bishops forced clancy into writing AND preforming SAI, google the clancy letter from March 17th of 2022, it explains it better than I ever could :))

[@mybossisdrunk]

Chill he wanted something different and that matched the narrative

[@jeffpicoult6306]

Instantly made me understand why I dislike Scaled and Icy so much. The only song on that album I can tolerate (I actually love it) is The Outside. I’ve been listening since day one, song one and SAI just felt so off to me. I guess maybe it was supposed to be that way.

[@BRMDZ_]

even if he was “forced” to do sai in the lore it still doesn’t justify a bad album

[@parkinholotado]

they wanted to do something more optimistic and that fit to where they are in their lives right now and somehow they managed to fit this whole thing in their ongoing narrative. it's fucking genius.

[@parkinholotado]

@@BRMDZ_ i'm so sad for you, because SAI is far from being a bad piece. literally the best tour, with full bands, colourful instrumentation and paul meany's production is absolutely phenomenal. it ain't your vibe, i get it. but besides being a whole new horizon for the band, this album is fire

I have been worried this might be their last album or they're going on a hiatus. This would be devastating!

[@mkpetersen1607]

I think someone like Tyler could never stop writing music. And Josh is probably not easily kept from his drum set either.. They couldn't stop even if they'd try 😂 I found them when they released Vessel and until today I had no idea this story line existed 😂 I wasn't a huge fan of Heathens (too conventional) so I didn't really listen to their last two albums. I (somehow) assumed they had left their quirkyness behind 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 Anyway, I had a dance party in my living room yesterday evening and jammed to all of their songs. I felt all the feelings I had as a teenager when I found them for the first time. It was lovely! But I must say, I was SO confused by this video because all the comments were talking about this story line from years back 😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[@omarcv7729]

[@terrormilk384]

hope it doenst stray away so much from where they started as the new album did. I loved the new album. But i adored the older ones much more. But the older ones handled depression and suicide with a much sharper sword too, wouldnt want Tyler to revist his suicidal pains just to please some fans. After all im guesing he learned to deal with his demons.

still baffles me how their reputation is the "cringe middle school music" (though i do see the attitudes changing now) when they're literally some of the best storytellers i know. to my knowledge, no other band has lore as detailed as this. besides the music is straight up fire and it's clear that they do this for art not for money. they just keep getting better

[@Luvvba]

At 3:53 there is a german female voice in the background which is saying: "Die uneimliche Insel hat mich zu einer Waffe gemacht". It's the german translation of the last paragraph of Clancy's Letter which says: "This small eerie island has made me a weapon".

[@Gabrielll24426]

I am German and I was so confused when I heard this voice

[@downintheforest9836]

shes saying something else after, "wir glauben an (...)" (we believe in), the rest i cant make out..

[@hannageier44]

She says "Die kleine unheimliche Insel hat mich zu einer Waffe gemacht. Wir glauben beide, dass wir damit die Dynamik des Krieges verändern können." Which is just the translation of the last paragraph of the most recent clancy letter on the dmaorg website. It says "This small eerie island has made me a weapon. We both believe that we can use it to change the momentum of this war.".

I can't believe it, I saw connections in the videos just never saw it, always thought it was just a theme for the album. Now I have to watch these songs in order because they've literally told us a story through music. It's absolutely genius they've turned their albums into one continuous musical and it's absolutely brilliant. I hope this video serves a purpose for more upcoming music that will add to this story. Absolutely blown away

ive been a hardcore TOP fan i was 5, back when blurryface was fire, and for the pieces to finally be put together with the music feeling so perfect 9 years later... Thank you, Tyler, and Josh, for giving my life meaning again. I preordered the limited edition clancy vinyl btw.

I was 15 when I first listened to blurryface. The past 7ish years have been the story of Trench, fighting out of DEMA just to fall back into addiction, self destruction, desperation. I'm now 23 and have "Fight it, take the pain, ignite it" tattooed on my chest for a reason. This band. This music. This storyline. This world Tyler's created is the most accurate representation of the mental illness journey I've ever come across and its so poweful to listen to songs i used to, and so many people still, sob to in their darkest moments, and just scream them powerfully and proudly. Stay alive. Find your way back to trench. We're here for you 💛 From, A fellow Bandito

I was obsessed with the album of trench, the lore it created and everything was just so underrated and hearing Tyler saying “im returning to trench, I am Clancy” literally is so symbolic. And his hands being painted black man such nostalgia

[@ichigothekyd]

just the other day i was listening to Jumpsuit, i havent listened to TOP in a long time, so Jumpsuit brought me back to when I was in elementary school listening to Vessel, Blurryface, and my favorite Trench. I didnt even know the lore was expanding so I guess Jumpsuit took me out of Dema and back with the Banditos lmao

[@tominodrtina]

Tyler's a genius. His kinda thinking is really rare and precious to this world. I love this band. Everything's so unique about them.

[@linkedtothequestion1]

This kind of thinking isn't THAT rare in my opinion. He's just 1 of the few who've been able to share it with billions of people and hasnt had his arm successfully twisted by the industry, which is obviously run by and made for Western 'normalcy' This kind of thinking is too often squashed out of people or watered down. He and Josh are kicking normalcy's butt, hopefully paving the way for others who are 'too weird' or too imaginative' for mainstream, and allowing more of the - squashed into normal- folks to be exposed to what they probably feel but don't know, they are missing.

[@tominodrtina]

@@linkedtothequestion1 that's a great point. Either way they're truly special for sharing their thoughts to encourage others who r pushed to be, as you've said, "normal".

[@splitzerx570]

Tyler is probably the best lyricist of the 21st century if you ask me. Pretty much none of his lyrics sound are spitballing and they always have meaning or purpose, and on top of all that, it’s all so poetic. And this is coming from someone who is primarily a fan of the classics. TØP all the way bro!

[@zeppeloni927]

Hi, 534 years old here. I have been listening to these boys since the renaissance era. It really warmed my heart to see so many different generations grow to love this band. I can't describe how I love this band and the community. I'm so excited for the new album.
